Review Notes:Perfect construction, great draw, sharp burn. Light body, mild flavor, fine aroma-- very clean, almost like fresh sheets, like detergent maybe... the next best thing to sucking on your dryer exhaust! But seriously, it's a fine cigar at a decent price. A great choice for a mild mood.

Review Notes:Great pre-light aroma, take the time to smell the gar. Very pleasant beginning with more strength than expected. Sadly at the 3/4" mark I realized the Indonesian wrapper is an exact clone of the Montague natural wrapper. I don't remember who produced Montague but I'd swear that only the bands were changed to protect the innocent, or not. Man, I wanted to love this gar loose draw, soft roll, great burn, aroma and all. I was gifted this cigar by a newbie still taking tobacconist's advice and believing the hype. I'll go with the average of $3.00 on price. Buy one of these and if you still have a Montague toro buried in the 'dor compare them and see what you think.

Review Notes:Surprisingly good. I gave up on regular R&Js about 2 years ago because I didn't think that the quality was up to par but I am glad I gave it another shot. This is a solidly made cigar that burns very well. The sweet aroma and beautiful grey ash really stood out and anyone looking for a mild daytime cigar costing around $5.00 could do a lot worse than this one.

Review Notes:Reasonably well rolled cigar, nice cap, wrapper had very fine veins, some soft spots. Punched it, prelight draw was pretty much sweet tobacco. The wrapper had a faint tobacco & barnyard smell. Draw was a bit on the easy side but not too bad. Ash was light-medium gray and fairly firm. Nice floral character to the sidestream smoke. A bit of canoeing had to be corrected, the smoke was decent and on the light side, typical Dominican. Ultimately disappointing for me because I like stronger smokes, but if you like them mild this may be a good bet.
